Book Giveaway: The Taker

Since July 2010, TNBBC has been bringing authors and readers together every month to get behind the book! This unique experience wouldn't be possible without the generous donations of the authors and publishers involved.

True love can last an eternity . . . but immortality comes at a price. . . .On the midnight shift at a hospital in rural Maine, Dr. Luke Findley is expecting another quiet evening of frostbite and the occasional domestic dispute. But the minute Lanore McIlvrae—Lanny—walks into his ER, she changes his life forever. A mysterious woman with a past and plenty of dark secrets, Lanny is unlike anyone Luke has ever met. He is inexplicably drawn to her . . . despite the fact that she is a murder suspect with a police escort. And as she begins to tell her story, a story of enduring love and consummate betrayal that transcends time and mortality, Luke finds himself utterly captivated.

Her impassioned account begins at the turn of the nineteenth century in the same small town of St. Andrew, Maine, back when it was a Puritan settlement. Consumed as a child by her love for the son of the town’s founder, Lanny will do anything to be with him forever. But the price she pays is steep—an immortal bond that chains her to a terrible fate for all eternity. And now, two centuries later, the key to her healing and her salvation lies with Dr. Luke Findley.

Part historical novel, part supernatural page-turner, The Taker is an unforgettable tale about the power of unrequited love not only to elevate and sustain, but also to blind and ultimately destroy, and how each of us is responsible for finding our own path to redemption.

I love a book with a back story and plot twists and this sound like the book for me. Also, summer vacation is almost here for me, I'm a high school teacher, and I want something good to read during the break. My contact information is jddunham@sbcglobal.net. Thanks for the opportunity!!

While this looks like a different book from what I've been reading lately, it looks really intriguing. Plus, my most-trusted GoodReads friend gave it 4 stars (high praise from her!). I've participated in these author discussions before and they're always such fun. I agree to participate in the group read book discussion in June. My contact info is lesliemcwilkins@yahoo.com. Thank you!!

No need to put me in for the drawing, as I have read and LOVED this book (and own a copy). Can't wait to discuss. Fabulous, dark, literary, historical, romance, paranormal all wrapped into one delicious book.
